iPhone 17 preorders: Early sellout reports for blue 17 Pro Max (256GB) — what we know
Summary: Several outlets and social posts claim that only 15 minutes after the official pre-order start, some models of the iPhone 17 family were already sold out at Apple and are now showing delivery delays. The model repeatedly mentioned is the blue iPhone 17 Pro Max with 256 GB. According to those reports, orders for this configuration placed now would not arrive by the planned launch date of September 19, 2025.
What we checked: We looked for confirmation on official Apple pages and major retailers. Apple’s newsroom confirms the iPhone 17 series and the preorder/launchtimeframe (Apple newsroom), and retailers such as Best Buy list the iPhone 17 Pro Max 256GB in Deep Blue with availability on Sept 19 (Best Buy listing).
However, as of our quick check, there is no clear official statement from Apple or major carriers explicitly confirming an Apple-wide sellout or shipping delay for the blue 256GB model. That suggests the early sellout reports may be retailer- or region-specific, or anecdotal. We will update if a nationwide stock update or Apple statement appears.
